Dark ruby color. Strong nose of dark berries, dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts. The palate is dry with medium acidity, well-integrated tannins present, rich body and fruity-spicy finish. Very deep and complex. Still quite closed on the palate, but suggests a great wine.

Fermentation in large wooden barrels and subsequent aging for 12-15 months in new French and American oak barrels.

Founded in 1864 and owned by the Alvarez family. 240 hectares of vineyards are planted with Tempranillo , Cabernet Sauvignon , Malbec and Merlot .

When David Alvarez purchased Vega Sicilia in 1982 , he bought the responsibility. Because with the two vintages of 1915 and 1917 the winery became world famous for its wines and has been in the top league ever since. Alvarez has not only lived up to the responsibility, but also founded the Alión winery in 1992, a further addition to Ribera del Duero . In 1997 the Vińdos Pinitia estate was added. The same philosophy as Vega Sicilia, the same know-how, a different region and a different name. From Pintia you get a lot of wine and history for little money.
